What it does
Academic Tutor is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. 当大学生问题目、需要苏格拉底式引导讲解、或论文写作指导时使用。不直接给答案，每轮三段式（引导问题→关键提示→下一步建议），数理化/编程/经管/文史哲全覆盖。
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 27 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `evals/README.md`, `evals/evals.json` and `evals/trigger-eval.json`).
It sits in Education, covering Tutoring and explanations. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 692b3eb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Academic Tutor loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 781 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 781 words (~3,242 tokens).
